Powerblock now on Roku!

[Zundfolge]

Popped into the Channel Store on the ole Roku last night and there it was, Powerblock! (http://www.roku.com/channels/#!details/23676/rtm-powerblock) OMG I haven't installed a channel so fast!

For those that don't know, Powerblock is basically a bunch of automotive how-to shows that run on Spike (http://www.spike.com/) on cable (you can see their site here (http://www.powerblocktv.com/)).

I emailed the folk at Powerblock a few months ago saying they should make their web video content available on Roku. So I take full credit for it :)


Anyway, any of you gear heads with Roku boxes should be happy.

Roku gives ... Roku takes away ... apparently Powerblock isn't available all of the sudden. Wonder wtf happened :(

Still working for me.

I can not find it anywhere. Was it under Interests or Sports category?

Then don't go into the Channel Store because when you come out it will "update" the Powerblock channel and it stops working :(

It was in "new" but its not there now.


Either there was some sort of techincal detail that needed to be ironed out and it was taken down until then, or it was made by someone other than the copyright holder and thus taken down by RTM, or it somehow violated Roku's terms of service (not sure how it could do that).

It was nice to catch up on a little HP TV, but alas it was short lived.
